To bear witness is not enough. Shelly Hilliard, known by her friends as ‘Treasure,’ was a beloved friend and daughter, and a vital part of a thriving community in Detroit. As a teenage, Black transgender woman, her death is not only on the hands of the murderer, but also on the local suburban police, whose coercion was ultimately responsible for Treasure’s murder. Created in longstanding conversation with her own communities of activist leaders, Detroit native dream hampton’s compelling directorial feature debut enables a direct address of this beautiful life lost as Treasure’s community and family speak in no uncertain terms about the conditions in which Treasure was made vulnerable, and their strategy for sustained justice.-Roya Rastegar
